Abstract

I want to know whether choirs who name themselves popchoirs are really popchoirs, that is, whether their repertoire mainly consists of songs in the genre pop. I will choose 10 different choirs and will analyse their repertoire. These can be found on their websites.

First, I chose the following 10 choirs:

Firma Vocaal, Weesp Popolo, Nijmegen Popkoor Koffer, Utrecht Popkoor Prestige, Amsterdam Popkoor Noisey Voices, Amsterdam Popkoor Remix, Almere Popkoor Amazing, Nieuwegein Studentenpopkoor Plica Vocalis – Pop, Nijmegen Hartkoor, Utrecht Popkoor Akkoord, Roosendaal Eurokoor, Leiden Second, I made playlists for all the above mentioned choirs.

Third, I will compare each of these playlists with a playlist I make on my own -> Popmusic in Holland from 1965-2020.

Before I can compare the playlists which each other I need a definition of what popmusic in Holland is.

What I need to do for now/this week; https://www.top40.nl/bijzondere-lijsten/top-100-jaaroverzichten/1965 This website lists the 100 most popular songs in Holland of each year since 1965. Since 55 years with 100 songs is rather a lot of work I will focus on the first 40 songs of each year. This will be a total amount of songs of 2200. From here I can make the make the definition of what we could call in Holland popular music. After that I can start comparing all the popchoir playlists with the playlist I made for ‘defining pop’

This is a second column of introductory text.

Defining Pop Music

To define what could be called popmusic in Holland I took 55 playlists from the Top100 in Holland from 1965-2020. Each playlist consists approximately 100 songs from that specific year. With rbind() I combined all the songs together. I removed the songs that were doubled in the playlists. So from 55 years the Top 100 songs the data is 5044 songs. This means I have 5044 songs to define Popmusic.

To specify more the components we will discuss the characteristics of popmusic with the features of spotify:

  1. Energy
  2. Mode
  3. Key
  4. Danceability
  5. speechiness
  6. acousticness
  7. loudness
  8. instrumentallness
  9. liveness
  10. valence
  11. tempo
  12. time-signature
